Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Have new chips seen to early
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Bath repair at your home in Gatton
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and rust by the waste and overflow.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Do you need bath repair in Gatton?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Look out for these signs:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips caused by builders
- A chipped rim or side
- Holes from dropped items

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Related advice
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Gatton: your questions answered
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you work in Gatton?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Gatton and the rest of Surrey. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Normally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Gatton. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Gatton
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gatton use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Surrey and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Gatton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- One price list for the whole UK
- Work done at your home or business
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
